From terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.0
sudo apt-get upgrade

This will install firefox 3.0.3

To get additional help when you type the above commands the system ask you for password, give your user password, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
